(a) Unless specifically noted otherwise, in interpreting and applying the provisions of this Planning and Zoning Code, these provisions shall be considered the minimum requirements necessary for the promotion of the public health, safety, and general welfare. They shall be liberally construed to further the purposes and objectives set forth herein and the purposes and intent of each district as set forth in each district section.
(b) This Planning and Zoning Code contains graphic representations in order to assist the reader in understanding and applying the Code. However, to the extent that there is any inconsistency between the text of the Planning and Zoning Code and any such graphic, the text controls unless otherwise provided in the specific section.
(c) In cases where this Planning and Zoning Code imposes a greater restriction upon the use of buildings or land or upon the height and/or bulk of buildings, or requires larger lot area, yards, setbacks, or other open spaces than are imposed or required by such other laws or ordinances, or by such rules and regulations, the provisions of this Planning and Zoning Code shall govern. Conversely, other regulations shall govern where they are more restrictive in nature than this Code.
(d) For subdivisions, in their interpretation and application, the provisions of this Planning and Zoning Code shall be held to be the minimum requirements adopted for the promotion of public health, safety and general welfare of the people and the Village. These Rules are not intended to repeal abrogate annul or in any manner interfere with any existing laws, covenants or rules in effect.
Should these Rules impose a greater restriction than is provided by existing laws, covenants, standards, references, plans or rules, the provisions of these Subdivision Rules shall prevail.
(e) If the provisions of this Planning and Zoning Code are inconsistent with one another, the more restrictive provision shall control.
